This Amendment to Schedule 13D (this "Amendment") is filed as Amendment No. 2 to
the Statement on Schedule 13D dated May 24, 2002 (the "Schedule 13D") filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission by John J. Holmgren, Sr., as amended by
Amendment No. 1 thereto ("Amendment No. 1") dated October 5, 2004. This
Amendment reflects (i) material changes to the Schedule 13D, as amended, and
(ii) that Mr. Holmgren ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the
Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as the result of his
disposition of an additional 81,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock as
described below. All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the respective meanings given to such terms in the Schedule 13D, as amended.
Unless otherwise set forth below, all items set forth in the Schedule 13D, as
amended, remain unchanged.



Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

            Not applicable to this Amendment.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

            Since the date of Amendment No. 1, Mr. Holmgren sold a total of
         81,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock through open market sales.
         Mr. Holmgren intends to monitor his investment in the Company's Common
         Stock on an on-going basis and reserves the right to purchase
         additional shares or dispose of additional shares from time to time as
         conditions appear advantageous to do so. Any strategies that Mr.
         Holmgren may pursue will depend on a number of factors, including
         without limitation, (i) current and anticipated future trading prices
         for the Common Stock, (ii) the financial condition and results of
         operations of the Company, and (iii) general economic, market and
         industry conditions.

            Except as described above, Mr. Holmgren does not have any current
         plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the
         transactions described in paragraphs (a) through (j) of this Item 4.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

            (a) Aggregate number of shares and percentage of the Company's
                Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. Holmgren: 1,109,000
                shares of the Company's Common Stock, representing 4.98% of the
                Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.

            (b) The number of shares of the Company's Common Stock with respect
                to which Mr. Holmgren has: Sole Voting Power: 1,109,000 shares;
                Shared Voting Power: 0; Sole Dispositive Power: 1,109,000; and
                Shared Dispositive Power: 0.

            (c) Since the date of Amendment No. 1, Mr. Holmgren effected the
                following dispositions of the Company's Common Stock in open
                market transactions:

                  (1)  3,000 shares at $1.20 per share on October 7, 2004;

                  (8)  5,000 shares at $1.18 per share on October 14, 2004;
                  (9)  10,000 shares at $1.18 per share on October 15, 2004;
                  (10) 2,000 shares at $1.16 per share on October 18, 2004;
